Maxi Rolex Cup Porto Cervo

A report with beautiful pictures of beautiful yachts from the extraordinary Carlo Borlenghi

Some big, powerful cats were chasing some very elusive mice in the first race of the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup yesterday.

A $200m fleet of 25, including some of the world's most beautiful yachts, packed with no-expense spared equipment and gadgetry, were sent in search of something which costs nothing.

The prey in question was the wind, blowing patchily from the north-east in zephyrs which scurried down the early stages of the 28 mile, double triangle course.
